Customer Reviews
Make difficulty level easier
I really like this whole concept and I like learning authentic stories. My only suggestion is to make it more obvious which stories are for which difficulty level. I would like to participate more but I’m still in my early days so I need some children’s book level stories. Maybe I’m missing something? Fully support this podcast and will continue to listen and do my best!
